[SEL] New Way update

[Richard Strobel]

SUPER Tim!!!  I owe ya.

  Rotater cuff..I hope not!!!!

I could always copy it and send you back yours.

And thanks for the info on the valve cage..I can rest easier now.

blabber on :-(

  I'm going to re-use the old rings..interesting there's 5 of them..one 
being way down on the skirt...again my first.  I sandblasted them which I 
really don't recommend but they cleanup so nice that way.  Wrist pin and 
other bearing surfaces will need polished..by the looks of the rod 
throw..she did get hot.

  Babbitt is ok..very lucky to have the two Lunk checkvalves.  Fan blades 
need some serious attention..would like to replace them and solder on a new 
outer ring.  Will run without the sheet metal for now and not work it.

  Interesting is the fact there's no counterweights on the flywheels..again 
my first.

  I think valve guides are a good idea on this puppy..Down the road she's 
gonna need all the help she can get sucking vapor up from that long, 
downward intake tube.

  I hope I can turn it over!!!

Thanks again Tim...ain't this list great..along with the hobby???????
